12. How Steel is Made (2)
"By the way, how did you survive these months and what did you eat?" Ma Gan Nan took the fork handed over by the muscle man, nodded in thanks, took out half a dozen beers from the plastic bag and put it on the table, and asked the muscle man with a smile.
"Oh my God, is it Christmas today? Obediently," the muscular man whistled excitedly when he saw the beer, hurriedly took a cup, put it in a brightly lit place and looked at the canned beer in his hand like a championship trophy, his face smiled like a blooming flower, and said to Ma Gannan, "Your truck is a treasure chest!" ”
"I work in a large supermarket," Ma Gan Man took out a bottle of whiskey from the plastic bag, took off the Swiss Army knife hanging from his waist, and said to the muscle man while opening the drink, "In the early days of the disaster, when there was chaos outside, I was left in the supermarket by the boss to watch the store, and the two big iron doors fell, and I was the only one in the supermarket, because I didn't have a family," Ma Gan Man said to the muscle man while opening the lid of the wine bottle vigorously, "There is everything in the supermarket, I watch TV every day, eat and sleep normally, wait for everything to get better, wait for everything to get back on track." , Waiting for the boss to call me, and then open the door as usual," Ma Gannan was silent for two seconds, "Tom! He pulled off the cork, pouted and said, "But I didn't wait for anything except the water and electricity, and the last person who could answer my phone didn't answer," Ma Gan Man poured a glass of whiskey into the wine glass brought by the muscle man, and pushed it to the muscle man, the muscle man shook his head and pointed to the beer in his hand, which meant that he wanted to drink beer, Ma Gan Nan picked up the wine glass, took a sip of whiskey himself, and continued, "I was in the supermarket for another month in fear, but finally I didn't escape, in one afternoon, The supermarket was breached by homeless people looking for food everywhere, and everything that could be eaten was looted," Ma Gannan sighed and said, "I didn't stop to escape, but the supermarket can no longer stay, after the homeless people left, there were a lot of zombies on all sides of the supermarket, I desperately killed a few zombies blocking the road, ran to the garage, and escaped in the car outside," Ma Gannan pointed outside and said, "I am lucky, the boss left in a hurry, and the goods that should have been unloaded in the car were not unloaded, so I have food and drink now." ”
"I've also been left on duty to watch the store, bachelor, this is similar to the two of us," the muscular man touched the glass with the mugan man with a beer can, frowned and took a long sip of beer, and continued, "It's just that I'm not as lucky as you, I happen to work in a supermarket," the muscular man jokingly pointed to the gym equipment around him, and said, "I only have these iron bumps here that can knock my teeth off, hum!" After saying that, he forked a piece of beef into his mouth and enjoyed it with his eyes closed.
"Haha, let me take a look at this tooth," Ma Gannan joked, deliberately taking a closer look at the muscular man's snow-white and neat teeth, and smiled, "Well, it's all still there!" Then I have to suspect that you ate the boss or the customer, you didn't rely on drinking water, right? Ma Gannan pointed to a row of plastic buckets for water dispensers next to the wall.
"Well, if they were so willing to stay with me, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by them, hehe! You don't know how crazy a man is when he can't eat meat for three days," the muscular man pouted, took another can of beer and opened it, glanced at the canned beef, and said to the Ma Gan man, "If you don't eat meat for three days, you will suspect that you have lost the ability to have a surname, and then you will doubt your life, and you will hardly be able to live." ”
"Wow, is it that serious?" Ma Gan Nan felt that the muscular man was joking, so he said with some disbelief, "I can understand what it feels like to be hungry, but I really can't imagine how you feel, in short, I don't believe that you can survive until now without eating anything and just by drinking water, and relying on willpower alone, you must have eaten something else." ”
"Hmph, if you don't eat, your willpower is a hair! I just complained to you," the muscle man pulled a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely as he chewed, "The boss is a money junkie, and opening a gym is just a pretense," the muscle man took the bread and pointed to the location of the warehouse, and said to Ma Gan Man, "His main goal is to sell protein powder, creatine and other fitness supplements to customers, and he mainly makes money from these things," the muscle man raised his eyebrows, stared at the bread and said, "He really made money, so he hoarded a warehouse of protein powder and made a mess, and was about to make a big deal." , but it's not good," said the muscular man, looking at a particularly bright lamp on the ceiling, reaching out and drawing a random circle above his head, "The sky has fallen, and the goods in the warehouse have become my food." ”
"Wow, I said why are you so hungry for a month and still so strong, it turns out that there is protein powder to eat," Ma Gan Man patted the muscular man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "There is protein powder to eat, and there are fitness equipment to play with, lock the door," Ma Gan Man turned around and pointed to the location of the door, and continued, "It's not bad." ”
"Don't you see a person in a room frantically trying to find something else to eat, I won't say that when I see you," the muscular man sighed, forked a piece of meat into his mouth, and said while chewing, "I think about meat so hard," the muscular man hooked his left arm, pointed to his high bulging biceps and said to the Ma Gan man, "I want to cut off the biceps, cook them and eat them," the muscle man introduced with a bitter face, "That protein powder mixed with cold water, straight to the throat, difficult to swallow, it's just a kind of torture, like a punishment, If you have the chance, you'll find out! ”
"So I'm lucky, come on, cheers!" Ma Gan Man raised his wine glass and touched the muscle man, and then the two drank the wine in their hands together.
"How many of those walking dead out there have you killed?" The muscular man obviously has a soft spot for beer, so he took another can of beer and opened it, and asked Ma Gan Nan while drinking, "I've only walked around the door, after all, you've walked farther than me." ”
"Outsiders call them zombies or walking corpses. Let me do the math," Ma Gan Man stretched out his right hand and carefully counted it, and said to the muscular man, "Sixteen." ”
"Hey, I can't see that you're still so thin and stubborn," the muscular man looked Ma Gan up and down appreciatively, clapped his hands symbolically twice, and said to Ma Gan Nan with a smile, "I've only smashed five passing walking corpses with a baseball bat at the door." Tell us about your experience! ”
"Ah, I don't have much experience, I used brute force at first," Ma Gan Nan took a sip of wine, made a stick swing movement with one hand, and said to the muscle man, "Later, I saw that several experienced vagrants were stabbing zombies in the head with knives, like this," Ma Gan Nan stabbed the zombie's head and continued, "The zombies fell, and I followed when I ran away, and it worked, killing more than a dozen zombies with my own hands, and slowly I learned how to deal with zombies." ”
